I appreciate the quick functionality and features to dice and splice your data when analyzing marketing metrics and data

The data source file needs to be cleaned and scrubbed to ensure that you are conducting analysis on true metrics. Sometimes this can be a pain since you will need to go back and forth between where your source file may be (excel) and tableau.

Good usage for data visualization, but can be costly since the license is expensive.

Great for visual analysis. Has R and SQL integration so you can get really deep into your data
Tableau Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manipulate reports and create a detailed and straight-to-the-point report based on any data set. Tableau is my favorite BI tool and makes it very easy to understand and analyze data
What do you dislike about the product?
How long it takes for reports to load sometimes, but that could be an internal issue with the number of reports in a dashboard, not specifically a tableau issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Defining sales goals and solutions, creating forecasting reports and weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend!
We love to use tableau to map

The mapping feature of Tableau and how it allows me to select by radius
What do you dislike about the product?
How it sometimes you have to manipulate the data before you upload it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We map prospects and do a lot of geo tricks to help our internal processes more efficiently
From a sales rep's perspective: slow
What do you like best about the product?
I love the quantity of data that can be managed and the range of reporting and charting options that exist. There are billions of data that I need to be able to access and synthesize into easily understandable stories. This tool allows me to do this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the reports have poor UI, but this may be a characteristic of the report-builder as much as the tool itself. I also dislike how slow it often is. I will often run reports (that I haven't built myself--these are canned reports built by others for use by sales reps) and they may take a long time (usually not more than half a minute) to run.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Culling insights from billions of datapoints. Tableau is one of the primary engines supplying me with data insights that allow me to inform my clients about their performance and ROI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't know much about it from a technical point of view other than what I can figure out from using it as a sales rep. From this standpoint, I find it very valuable in providing crucial data, but I often find the interface clunky and my biggest complaint is how long it can take to actually run a report. Sometimes I will wait for several minutes to actually have the data pull. I'm not sure if this is a Tableau issue or has to do with the amount of data I am often looking at.
Good presentation of elements and an even better organization
What do you like best about the product?
Any data I input is so well organized and well-designed that it is easy to understand trends and answer any questions we may have. Sometimes, I even find answers to questions we hadn't thought to ask yet. The best part about Tableau is that it is extremely fast to get to the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any bad experiences with Tableau. It fulfilled all of my analytic needs at the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to compare our various strategies with quick data analytics, which has allowed us to determine which companies are best suited for our customers and our profits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that Tableau is an excellent business tool.
Universal BI tool
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards that can be linked to databases are a huge asset for this product. We were able to automate 90% of our reporting duties to a simple refresh. It also makes aggregating dates in diffferent buckets as simple as a dropdown vs. a laundry list of formulas in Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
The internal formatting tools can often be complicated or not intuitive. If you are trying to exactly match an existing internal format it may be difficult. Sometimes with wrong queries Tableau buffers the data and freezes for lengthy times on processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We address the majority of our analytics and reporting through Tableau software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can be applicable to almost any company use, would highly recommend.
It's good
What do you like best about the product?
I like what we use it for to see where we stand and the graphs and charts are very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The loading time is terrible and it could be because of our internet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our AE Dashboard where we can see where we stand with sales.
